I think I belong to America's last generation of novelists. Novelists will come one by one from now on, not in seeming families, and will perhaps write only one or two novels, and let it go at that.

The third thing that I learned was that you, my Lord, never regarded me as I actually was, lame and weak and crooked and cowardly.

I love going out and doing new things.
